[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Short Stock - Upgrade A2 to shorty?

Posted: 12/25/2002 2:26:14 AM EDT

I need a stock about 1.5 - 2" shorter than my A2. I would like to get a 16" upper for my AR and use the short stock. This is a POST BAN weapon.

How hard is it to go back and forth between A2 and whatever you all recommend to replace it?

What I'm looking for is a real dirt gun - drag around the farm, in the weeks, whack a coyote etc., mend fences, etc. about 2MOA would be fine. Any ideas on a cheap 16" upgrade?

Cheapest would be puting a new barrel kit on it. A1 is a little shorter than A2, but I don't know what is a little shorter than that.

Changing the stocks is simple, just dont loose any of the springs! Cav Arms is making some A1 length stocks. I dont know specifically how much shorter they are, but folks who find the A2 stocks a little too long LOVE 'EM...

Me on the other hand, I need my RRA stock, which is accually 3/4 of an inch longer than A2.

Try the [url=cavalryarms.com]CavArms[/url] "C1" stock. It's a direct replacement for the A2 buttstock, except the same length/profile as an A1 (about 5/8" shorter - which will seem to make all the difference in the world.) I've installed one on all my post-bans.

If the A1 stock is too long at approximately 10", then you might consider our Short Tactical Stock which is approximately 8" in length. It is a solid stock that was designed so you can add the DPMS 1" extender to opt to 9". If you check our Tactical Store and click on the picture of the OD colored M4, it will take you to a comparison picture of the A2, A1, and the Short Tactical "Sully" Stock photographed side by side.
